Cars #5

            I have learned a lot of new and interesting facts and figures about automobiles. After researching and looking up bunch of information about cars it made much easier for me to write about it. I also got to known a lot of history and some of the cool historic facts about cars. The basic definition of an automobile that I learned is that it a vehicle with at least four wheels that has the maximum capacity for two to four people to fit in. The history of the early cars was super unique and interesting. The basic history of earlier cars basically started at the early ages of 1769 with the great succession of a steam powered vehicle. One of the other types of the automobiles that got me interested were the old fashioned electric powered cars. Soon, the concept of assembly line system was brought in many of the factories.
          The idea was mostly spread by Henry Ford which began in 1914. Ford company was the first one to develop an affordable car especially for middle class society of that time. His Model T was highly appreciated by other Americans. Ford sold enough Model Ts to earn the best known person at that time. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford sold over 15 million Model Ts which also contributed in his popularity and success as well. At first, the cost of Model T was about $850 but soon Ford managed to reduce the amount to $300. As the time is passing by, the new generation cars are getting more reliable, effective  facilitation  nicer, lighter weight and fancier day by day. The prices are going up as well which can be hard for some people to afford. I also focused and researched more on the specific functions and features of some of the cool cars.
         I researched and learned more about the racing cars and what makes them so special and different than the regular cars. The sport of auto racing first started in 1890s where most races were held on the regular roads. The auto racing organization was established in France during 1895. It is mostly used to check the speed and performance of the vehicle. The greatest automobile racing is the Indianapolis 500. In auto racing, the most important piece of safety equipment for a driver is his helmet.The Federation Internationale de I' Automobile (FIA) regulates the automobile racing in over 95 countries throughout the world. The Automobile Competition Committee for United States (ACCUS) governs U.S racing as being part of FIA.
        I also got learn more about the traffic collisions and really affects them. Some of the major factors that contribute in the traffic collisions include the vehicle design, road design or type of environment, and driver's own skills to drive. Worldwide it was estimated in 2004 that 1.2 million people were killed and 50 million more were injured due to the motor vehicle collisions Driver impairment describes factors that prevent the driver from driving at it's normal level which includes alcohol, sleep deprivation, drug use, old age or any kind of other distraction. World's first car accident occurred on 31 August 1869.
        Even though through researching and looking up information about cars, I still feel like I haven't gotten much further. I want to learn as much as I possibly can about the cars since this are one of the most amazing technology I have ever learned or heard about. Some of the possible topics that I want to focus more on is who and why people even thought about developing something like automobiles, Why do accidents are happening so often now a days, Does the car prices have to do anything with the current economy, and lastly I would like to know more about why some cars have more success over others.

Traffic Collision And the Factors Involved #4


  • Some of the major factors that contribute in greater risk of auto collisions include vehicle design, road design, road environment, driver's own skill.
  • Traffic collisions can be classified by these general types and these types include: head-on, road departure, rear-end, side collisions, and it can also occur due to rollovers
  • Many different terms are commonly used to describe the vehicle collision such as: motor vehicle accidents (MVA), motor vehicle traffic collision (MVTC), road traffic accident or collision (RTA) (RTC) respectively and many more
  • Worldwide it was estimated in 2004 that 1.2 million people were killed (2.2% of all deaths) and 50 million more were injured due to the motor vehicle collisions
  • Human factors are one of the most important cause that could possibly contribute in the road collisions. Human factors are usually described as all the possible factors related to the driver and the other road users that may contribute in road collisions
  • A French global insurance group known as AXA concluded in one of his surveys that Irish drivers are very safety-conscious relative to the other European drivers
  • In the 1990's, Hans Monderman's studies of the driver behavior led him to the realization that traffic signs and regulations had a super affect on a driver's ability to interact safely with other road users around that person
  • The U.S Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration's research in 1998 stated that most of the highway accidents are usually because of the motor vehicle's speed
  • Driver impairment describes factors that prevent the driver from driving from it's normal speed level. These factors could include: alcohol, sleep deprivation (fatigue), drug use, old age or any kind of other distraction that takes away the driver's focus from driving
  • History: World's first road accident occurred on 31 August 1869
  • Economy: The global economic cost of MVC'S was estimated at $518 billilion per year in 2003 with $100 billion of that occuring in developing countries.

Amazing Facts About Sports Cars #3


            The sport of automobile racing began in 1890's. First races usually took place on the regular roads with very less amount of safety measures and a lot of driver got badly injured. The first automobile racing organization was established in France during 1895.It's a most thrilling sport that is appreciated by huge number of people from all over the world. Car racing is mostly used in order to test the speed and the kind of performance of a certain vehicle and also to see and check the daring of the drivers. There are tons of cars races every year and every single year millions of viewers from all over the world come and visit these automobiles racing . The greatest of all the automobile races is the Indianapolis 500 which is also very popular for attracting the attention of thousands of people from many different parts of the world to the racing games. Much of the cars racing popularity and importance lies upon the quality of sports cars that are being used in the racing events . It also usually depends on the type of racing event whether it's a big racing event or just a small regular one. Some of the most visible parts and figures that people usually appreciates the quality of includes starting from the vehicles range in size from small, open karts (also known as go-karts) all the way to the large Sedans. However, if we go further in details we can divide the cars into two of the main categories. 1) production cars and 2) the cars that are specifically made for the racing purpose. Production cars are actually factory-made cars for the passenger carrying purpose and are actually converted into the race cars while most cars built only for the racing purpose are not designed for carrying passengers because it has the maximum capacity for at least two people. Automobiles races distance range from 1/4 mile (0.4 kilometer) which are known as drag races that last only seconds compared to the rallies that cover great distances and which last weeks sometimes. There are commonly two major types of tracks which includes the oval tracks and the road-racing courses. Oval tracks are usually 1/5 mile (0.3 kilometer) to more than 22/3 miles (4.2 kilometers)  long and most oval tracks have concrete surfaces. Road-racing roads have a lot of resemblance with the country roads and they consist of straight ways, hills and number of turns. Events known as street races have become extremely popular in the racing world. cars racing is a highly dangerous sport but as time has passed a lot of safety measures are taken in order to protect both the spectator and the driver. Strong guardrails and heavy fencing is laced around the racing tracks to decrease the amount of accidents. A driver's most important piece of safety gear is the driver's helmet, besides that lap and shoulder belts are also another standard important safety equipment. A sport car carries it's fuel in a fuel-resistant fuel cell in case the fuel tank bursts in a clash or something. Many race sites have the medical facilities in order to provide an immediate treatment to the injured. The Federation Internationale de I' Automobile (FIA) regulates the automobile racing in over 95 countries throughout the world. The Automobile Competition Committee for United States (ACCUS) governs U.S racing as being part of FIA. Most of the sports cars used in the auto racing includes: Honda, Porsche, Mazda, BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes and many more https://www.evernote.com/Home.action#st=p&n=6cce0d7c-46ba-4c38-915d-dbe34b3a746a

What makes a society just????????

               There could be tons of things that could contribute in shaping your society and a lot of which are pretty obvious to the humans in order to compare and determine the faults that could help us to maintain our own surroundings. In my opinion there could be a lot of reasons for a leader to be successful, one of the most important things that make the leader just and more powerful is if the ruler of that particular country cares about the people living under his system. He should always be caring and respecting the needs and abilities of the citizens that are currently resides in that country or nation. The ruler is providing the nation with all the possible equal rights that the his people deserve. The country's ruler should make the rules and regulations that are completely fair to the people and it also be fulfilling the necessities. If the following laws are bad or cruel or the people disagree with them or don't want to follow them for some reason than the law should definitely be removed and the people should protest against it. On the other hand if the law made by the president is just and contains equality and the people aren't just obeying it than he has to take some kind of action to stop that because it is obviously going to benefit the people themselves. According to what I think, mostly people in the world are not naturally bad when they are born. It really depends on the kind of surroundings or the type of environment they are living in and what's really happening around them. For instance, if you are living in a violent neighborhood where other people are being killed or kidnapped every single day and there is robbery everywhere than hopefully you are going to get the same kind of affects and you are probably you are going to adopt the same kind of habits because you are watching them as you grow developing the exact same character traits. On the other side, if you are residing in a good neighborhood, there are great chances for you of developing good type of personality traits. You could also have enough confidence and unique abilities to try to change the surroundings around you. Your parents can be a great influence on you so basically try to give you your shape. The government should always be distributing the wealth equally among the people. In this case, they also have to be extra careful about how they are going to do that because in a lot of cases only the rich people get all the money and goods and the poor population doesn't receive a single coin and is left with nothing most of the time. So, it really depends on the ruler and it's all in it's hands whether he wants to improve his country's system or leave them on their own and then the country falls in crisis. I completely agree with the counter counts and the honor code relationship together. If you are honest and a hard working person, you are definitely more likely to be more successful in your upcoming life comparing to the ones that are lazy and not like to put in a lot of effort and which gets less good results in the upcoming life. So, most probably if the person that is more successful than the other he/she is or would be following the character counts. If you talk about the individual's behavior and how he reacts to certain situations than that could also be connected with the character counts. If you have the good type of  characters that support your behavior than also shows what type of personality or character traits you have in you.

The Cars #2



ALL ABOUT CARS

Automobile (motor car, auto car or car) is usually described as a four wheeled vehicle which has the seats, it also need to have maximum capacity for at least one to eight people to easily fit in. It is mainly used for transporting passengers which has an engine or a motor. The history of the early cars was super unique and interesting. The history of the automobiles basically started in the early ages of 1769 and it started with the succession of the first vehicle consisting of steam engine which was capable for human transportation. Later, in 1885 the cars powered through the internal combustion engine got introduced which were running on fuel gas. In the beginning of the 20th century, the demand of the cars that were certainly powered by the electric power was getting really high but unfortunately as the 21st century turned up the main demand of the electric powered cars started to decrease. The first working steam powered car was built by Ferdinand Verbiest. Then, in 1902 the massive production of the affordable automobiles was first introduced by Ransom Olds and he started all this in his Oldsmobile factory which was located in Lansing, Michigan. The factory system was based upon the assembly line techniques. Soon the concept of the assembly line was widely spreaded by Henry Ford which begin in 1914. At first, Henry Ford used to make his automobiles in the same exact way as the other automobile making companies did but as he got introduced to this wonderful method of assembly line in 1913 he started making the cars much faster than he used to do before. Although Ford did not invent the automobile himself, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans were able to afford to buy. His introduction of the Model T automobile modernized transportation and American industry. As being the owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford sold more than 15 million Model Ts in total. First the cost of Model T was $850 (about $20,000 now a days) but by the end Ford somehow managed to reduce the price of it's model to $300 (about $3700 today). On December 10,River Rouge plant in Detroit. On one hand, the cars are pretty useful including transportation purposes but on the same other hand, they have major disadvantages and one of the most trouble causing situation is the problem of noise and the air population. Now a days, the cars are increasing in huge majority which also brings some difficulties too. Cars industries are also making great income through this widely growing business. The cars are getting more reliable, nicer, less weight and more fancier day by day. The top 10 cars in the U.S includes:  Honda, Mazda, Porsche, Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Acura and more.

The Cars

The Cars

 I already know a lot of different characteristics and functions of the cars but I want to know more details about them. I would like find out how the earlier cars back in mid 1900s looked like. Also, who first thought about the idea of making an automobile just to ease transportation for people. I want to know more about the guy who came up with the idea of designing a four wheel automobile (car). In which country cars first started to develop. I am more excited to learn more about the upcoming technologies the cars would have in them. Do  people really believe on cars as long as they are safe?

Introduction

When ever I am free, I usually go on face book just for fun and chat with my friends in Pakistan or I go to park and hang out with my friends. The thing I really liked about Hinsdale Central High School is that it's a really big school and all of my teachers are so nice. One of my favorite thing to do in my native country is to go out with my friends in evening and play cricket with with them.
